VIDEO: PARKER, DUNCAN TAKE OVER COACHING DUTIES

Gregg Popovich is one of the best coaches in NBA history but, if you ask Pop, the cantankerous legend will quickly pass off praise and credit to the long list of players that have worn the San Antonio Spurs uniform. What makes Popovich a unique coach is his relationship and the foundation of trust that has been built with his entire roster, most notably his star players. Tim Duncan and Popovich’s relationship is well documented; a player-coach match made in heaven. However, the relationship between Pop and Spurs guard Parker has a special home-grown quality to it.
